New bollards have been erected between the roundabout and Churchill Close, Llandudno, following incidents which saw vehicles leave the highway and collide with a garden wall, and into a resident’s kitchen.

Further to the latest incident last August, local MS Janet Finch-Saunders, Member of the Welsh Parliament for Aberconwy, liaised with North Wales Housing; Geraint Edwards, Head of Environment, Roads and Facilities, Conwy County Borough Council; and local representatives.

The Member then secured the delivery of ten protective bollards.

Commenting on the works, she said: “I am delighted that Conwy County Borough Council has listened to the concerns raised and delivered a solution which should help residents of Churchill Close feel safer in their homes.

“Nobody should have to be subjected to the trauma of a vehicle crashing into their home, so I hope that the bollards provide the defence required to protect residents.

 “Residents may also be assured to learn that the design of the roundabout has not been deemed a causation factor of incidents”.
